Through artist residencies in sites that offer free summer programs to under-served urban youth ages 5 to 14, teaching artists increase students’ problem-solving and creative skills so that they have a means of self-expression and empowerment.
Each teaching artist will be assigned to a multi-person team that develops and leads their own creative arts curriculum, focusing on visual arts, dance, music, creative writing and/or theater. Summer teaching artists will be assigned to one or two recreation sites where, based on their prior experience with teaching and youth, they will be leading arts workshops and assisting with other aspects of programming, such games, field trips and lunch duty.
The AmeriCorps EDTAP program offers members an opportunity to not only strengthen their curriculum development and classroom management skills, but also deepen problem solving and leadership abilities. One week of intensive skill development training plus weekly feedback and reflection sessions will support the member’s professional growth as well as the success of their students’ experience. Team leaders with more teaching experience will also act as mentors to less experienced members.

AmeriCorps EDTAP Teaching Artists need to:
- Volunteer full-time from June 25 to August 15 to complete 300 hours of service
- Be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma
- Complete a federal and state criminal background check
- Have a strong interest and passion for the arts and for sharing their passion with youth
- Have reliable transportation to their service site(s)
- Have completed college or high school courses in art (visual arts, music, dance and/or theater)
- Have some experience teaching or tutoring in a community or school setting
The ability to speak Spanish is a plus, since many youth are from Spanish-speaking families.

AmeriCorps Summer Teaching Artists will receive an education award of $1,175 at the completion of 300 hours of service, to go toward paying back qualified student loans or higher education. For volunteers 55 years of age or older, awards are transferable to children, foster children and grandchildren.
